Definitions

  • This invention relates to a shoe-cleaning appliance having a grate and motor-driven brushes which are movable between the bars of the grate and project partially beyond the grate surface.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical section of the appliance of the present invention taken along the line II of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 2 is an axial section of one of the drums taken along the line IIII of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 3 is a top view of the appliance.
  • numerals 33 and 34 designate two drum-type solids of revolution mounted on axles 35 and 36. These drums extend over the whole length T (FIG. 3) of the appliance.
  • the peripheral surfaces of the drums are provided alternately with belt beds 37 and runner faces 38 for the slide rings 39, the belt beds and slide rings of said two drums being so arranged with respect to each other that each belt 37 of the one drum 33 lies opposite a slide ring 39 of the 3,338,499 Patented Mar. 14, 1967 other drum 34.
  • the belt beds are formed by grooves 37 which widen outwards and serve for taking endless flexible V-belts 40 which are furnished on the outside with synthetic bristles anchored therein, for instance nylon bristles 41.
  • each belt 40 runs at one end on a belt 37 of one drum and at the other end over a slide ring 39 of the opposite drum.
  • Each of the drums 33 and 34 has arranged therein a driving motor, for instance an electric motor 42 or 43 with gear-in-g 44 or 45 respectively, through which the drums 33 and 34 are driven.
  • a driving motor for instance an electric motor 42 or 43 with gear-in-g 44 or 45 respectively, through which the drums 33 and 34 are driven.
  • the armatures of the motors are mounted on the stationary axles 35 and 36, while the motor casings rotate.
  • the axles 3'5 and 36 are vertically adjustable in lateral guide supports 46 and 47, thus permitting the drums to be set higher when the bristles 41 are worn, so that the bristles project sufficiently beyond the grate bars 48.
  • Numeral 49 denotes an angle-iron frame which fits into the top of the pit taking the drums, while numerals 50 and 51 designate the cover plates lying on the one hand on the angle-iron frame 49 and on the other hand on the grate bars 48.
  • both the seatings 38 for the slide rings 39 and the belt beds 3'7 are formed by grooves recessed into the drums, the slide rings being designed in two parts. It would also be possible to have the belt beds arranged in special pulley rims and to push the latter together with the slide rings onto the outwardly smooth drums, and then to pin or screw the pulley rims to the drums, while the slide rings are free to move or rotate on the drums between the pulley rims.
  • a shoe-cleaning appliance having a grate formed by an array of parallel transversely spaced bars defining a treading surface, roller means extending axially at opposite ends of the bars of said array substantially the full length thereof transversely to said bars and therebelow, drive means for rotating said rolier means, and a plurality of endless brushes passing around said roller means and displaceab-le thereby while extending between the bars of said array and having bristles projecting upwardly beyond said surface, the improvement wherein:
  • each of said roller means comprises a rotatable hollow drum provided with axially spaced circumferential belt beds each receiving one of said brushes for entraining same upon rotation of said drums, the beds of said drums being axially staggered with respect to one another, each of said drums further comprising slide rings disposed between the respective circumferential beds and rotatable relatively to the respective drum while carrying a respective br-ush entrained by one of the beds of the other drum whereby alternate ones of said brushes are frictionally entrained by and slipped with respect to each of the drums, said drums being closed at their extremities; and
  • said drive means includes a respective drive motor received within each of said hollow drums, and transmission means coupled with each of said motors for rotating the respective drum.
